| I am riding the 141, which is perfect for someone in the 170-190 range... this board simply feels professional, many aspects will improve your game significantly, however weakness's will be exploited quickly. Examples: If its POP your looking for you will get it with no sacrifice of speed. Landings with a good boot are fairly soft, and weight is super light with novacore. However if you are used to a deep fined sticky intermediate board this will feel loose in the first 4-5 rides, but stick it out b/c you will gain incredible versatility with freestyle riding especially moving to switch. Try to find a local shop that carries Hyperlite... I had to drive 45mins to get my board but found it for $549 in summer of 09. |
